Bill's build your own RoboSapien page. . .
A few animations showing two possible leg linkages . . .


Showing how the parallel linkages (as used in my prototype and, as far as I can tell, in Mark Tildens prototype) cause the feet to stay horizontal when moving.
Now the same walking motion but with non parallel linkages.
And again with non parallel linkages - the pelvic thrust - which also keeps the centre of gravity over the feet.
